So The Sunday Times reported that an offer had been made, when in fact it looks like none had been, and everyone just took that as gospel.
No comment from Boeing yet. They are probably still trying to find someone who knows anything about this!

Typical BS reporting. Remember when you actually got NEWS from newspapers, not unsubstantiated rumour? Ahhh, those were the days!

noooby,

I suspect it's just about semantics (i.e. informal approach vs. formal offer). The force was strong with this rumor earlier this year.
